Indian propaganda[edit]
The sentence "In 1975 Sikkim joined the union of India through a referendum receiving a 97%-majority election vote, thus ending his rule", is Indian propaganda. It is well enough known that India invaded, and the referendum was rigged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 00:34, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Reign?[edit]
This article reads:
- Shortly after Namgyal's marriage, his father died and he was crowned the new Chogyal on an astrologically favourable date in 1965. In 1975, the Prime Minister of Sikkim appealed to the Indian Parliament for Sikkim to become a state of India.
In other words, it skips directly from the Chogyal's coronation to the beginning of his being deposed. There is nothing at all about his reign (the most important part of almost any monarch's biography), which lasted ten years. In light of the previous comment, I have to wonder if this glaring omission is intentional. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 14:01, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
